Somerset could see some snow over the Easter bank holiday as the Met Office admits 'considerable uncertainty' surrounds how far snow will spread across the country.

A yellow weather warning for snow has been issued for Monday (April 2) reaching as far south as Gloucestershire.

Heavy rain is currently predicted for most of Somerset on Monday, however forecasters at the Met Office say this could easily turn to snow.

The Met Office tweeted: "If you have plans, keep up to date with the latest forecast as the details could change, a tiny difference in the position of cold air or mild air could be the difference between rain or snow where you are."

A spokesman said: "A Met Office Snow Warning has been issued for Monday which will be updated nearer the time as confidence in the forecast details increases.

"There is considerable uncertainty about how far the snow will spread and how much there will be."
